From I like the Warhol museum for alot of reasons – I am not really sure if Andy Warhol would like the Warhol museum but that is anothr conversation. If it weren’t for the warhol museum this blog wouldn’t exist. After a trip to the Warhol on a rainy sunday afternoon – I decided to teach myself to screen print. The first t-shirt I printed was an IheartPGH t-shirt. A few year later, I had forgotten about t-shirts and was working on campaigns when we started the IheartPGH blog and brought back the t-shirt idea. The t-shirts and the blog have been a good thing. It was an IheartPGH reader that left a comment about Spreadshirt and I was happy to find a great source for IheartPGH T-shirts and now I work for Spreadshirt and when I am not writing about Pittsburgh, I am writing about t-shirts here. I had no idea when I dragged friend of IheartPGH to the Warhol musuem back in 2003 that it would be so influential. Continue reading

I stumbled upon this event while browsing weekend activities for this weekend at ThisIsHappening.org and this looks like my kind of event – Pittsburgh story telling. A bunch of historians from around Pittbsurgh are digging up some artifacts and stories from the Warhol Museum (I love Andy Warhol’s time capsules), The Homewood Cemetary, Pitt, Chatam and more. I don’t know much about the Archival Happy Hour Group but it looks like this is going to be a pretty amazing story hour.Unbeknownst Pittsburgh! from the Archival Happy Hour Action GroupFriday, Feb. 6, 2009 7pmMary Breed Lecture Hall, Margaret Morrison Building, Carnegie Mellon UniversityFree

This weekend the Warhol Museum opens a new exhibit called the Cartoon Factory that has got a few of my favoirte things. I love the warhol because you can screen print things there and this new exhibit gives you a chance to make your own political cartoons or campaign buttons.
